Victoria Reggie Kennedy, wife of a senior Senator from Massachusetts, arrives for the annual Columbus Day Parade Committee dinner at Lombardo's, a venerable if slightly faded banquet hall in the heart of working-class East Boston. The diners fit the profile of what used to be the core Kennedy constituency— urban ethnic senior citizens of modest means. Many of them were given tickets by officeholders and community groups and came just for the meal. The first and most significant problem is that Kennedy is suffering from base rot.
